Though Moray is slightly outside the city, it is definitely an interesting place worth visiting. Moray (amphitheater) is one of the examples of ancient Inca Ruins. You will notice that it looks a lot like the amphitheaters of Greece. As a result of the split caused by the staircases in these concentric terraces, it becomes easy for people to walk to the bottom of the amphitheater. These depressions are said to be used as agricultural research stations during the ancient times. The depressions are not uniform which makes the site even more picturesque.

One of the most highlighted feature of Moray is that the shifting of the temperature from the top to the bottom. Which means you will feel a very obvious change in the temperature from top to bottom and this is allegedly due to the ingenious design. These circular terraces are worth seeing, especially during summers.
